Description

MARVEL-SCAN

Compact Autonomous Platform for High-Quality Side Scan Bathymetric Surveys

The MARVEL-SCAN AUV is an accessible and cost-effective solution for high-resolution bathymetric surveys. Outfitted with a Marine Sonic Side Scan Sonar, this micro-AUV delivers exceptional image quality, operational stability, and accurate navigation in dynamic coastal and shallow-water environments.

Designed for both research and industrial applications, MARVEL-SCAN features advanced INX navigation, Doppler Velocity Log (DVL), and an acoustic positioning and communication module, ensuring <5 m absolute navigation accuracy within USBL surface module range.

Key Features

• Integrated Marine Sonic Side Scan Sonar for clear, high-definition seafloor imaging
• Accurate INX navigation system with DVL and USBL acoustic positioning
• Navigation accuracy of <5 m in acoustic positioning range
• Operational autonomy of up to 8 hours at speeds up to 6 knots
• Depth rating of up to 300 metres
• Compatible with DeepVision Side Scan Sonar software for easy data visualization
• Mission planning via SEAPLAN software with pre-defined lawn-mower survey patterns
• Rugged build for single-operator deployment in coastal and inland water environments
